After nearly five years of closure due to the pandemic, the Two Trees Inn plans to reopen next spring, managed by the Waterford Hotel Group. Located adjacent to the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, this reopening will help revive regional tourism, and related tourism packages around the casino can be queried through the PASA official website.
Reopening Background: Meeting Demand with Thorough Preparation
This reopening has been well thought out! The hotel has been closed since early 2020, and after a long-term assessment of tourism trends and accommodation needs by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the decision to reopen was made. In 2023, the local assessment value of the hotel was $16.8 million. In recent years, Foxwoods Casino has added attractions like Great Wolf Lodge and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, and nearby projects like Martha Stewart's Bedford project and the Coast Guard Museum under construction have supported increased visitor flow, bolstering the hotel's reopening.
Hotel Amenities: Serene and Comfortable with Comprehensive Facilities
Staying here is sure to be especially pleasant! The hotel has 280 rooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, and a scenic courtyard surrounded by greenery, with direct access to Lantern Hill Trail. The hotel will offer shuttle services to and from the casino, and it is not yet determined whether the original restaurant will reopen. Overall, the hotel has a more tranquil style compared to other hotels under the casino's banner.
Employment and Operations: Clear Division of Labor Driving Economic Growth
A win-win for the local area! The Waterford Hotel Group is responsible for initial recruitment and training, initially employing about 50 people, with staff increases during peak seasons. Positions for general manager and sales director have already been posted. Tribal Chairman Rodney Butler stated that the hotel's reopening not only enriches accommodation options but also creates jobs and promotes community economic growth.
Regional Recovery: Positive Tourism Data with Extended Peak Season
The regional tourism industry has already warmed up! In November, hotel occupancy rates in New London County were nearly 59%, up 3.6 percentage points from six years ago, with an average daily room rate of $159. Over the past few years, the region's tourism peak season has extended from June-August to spring and autumn. The reopening of the Two Trees Inn will further accommodate the growing visitor demand.
